Abstract
This paper reports a modified steady one-dimensional Zel’dovich–von Neumann–Döring detonation model that considers a vibrational nonequilibrium effect. The Landau–Teller model is adapted for the translational–rotational to vibrational mode exchange rate, and Park’s two-temperature model is applied in the single-step Arrhenius equation. The Millikan and White method is chosen to model the vibrational relaxation time. In this modified model, α is introduced and is defined as the ratio of the specific heat capacity related to the translational–rotational mode only versus the total specific heat capacity at constant pressure. Changes in half-reaction zone length and predicted postshock thermodynamic properties are observed in this modified profile across the postshock state to the Chapman–Jouguet state. The findings agree with a previous numerical simulation of gas detonation with detailed chemistry assessment, in which detonation cell size changes under a vibrational nonequilibrium assumption.
